7 rebels with silenced guns infiltrated Aleppo citadel through a tunnel they dug and killed Government fighters in beds before they got detected. One of the rebel attackers died while the rest successfully withdrew.

A Rebel in Aleppo says all gains in 'Bab Al Faraj' happened on Whatsapp and Facebook only, and that "I ask those in power to cut off the net on those in the city as to stop the spread of such news again".

Clashes with Government army break out across old Aleppo front after months in what seems like an attempt to reduce pressure on the city's NW gate around Castillo. So far the reports of clashes are mainly in the area around Aleppo citadel and Masharqa district.
